This book could’ve used an editor, because I know I didn’t just read a book with more than a thousand pages for

anomie to have such a weak reveal at the end

This was such an in-depth mystery and a really interesting look at internet and fan culture, trolling and social media. And I love Strike and Robin, but knocking off a bit of a star because obviously still no romantic resolution between the two of them!

Edit woman, edit! I'm not sure why this book wasn't edited down. The page count is too hight for what happens in the book, I sure don't need to know what color of shirt did Robin purchase and why she got a new backpack. I mean - too many details that are not pushing plot or character development. I think it was overcomplicated story - and not in a good way. And at this point - I'm no longer inverted in Robin&Cormoran story - they can't just talk anymore? After the whole thing of always being honest? Come on!

rosyapple's review against another edition

forgot RG is JKR. the female characters felt insubstantial/stereotyped. the chat room transcripts really slowed it down. given the length and other reviewers comments about the disproportionate length to plot thought i'd leave it there. agree with another reviewer that it felt self-indulgent - in length - could definitely do with some stronger editing.

I love the strike series but this book is really long and took me some time to read, however I still loved it and the story is great and Robin and strike are a brilliant pair.

This is a decent book. Not my favorite in the series. There was relationship development between Ellacott and Strike. The plot was hard to follow at times, and I felt it was predictable.
